If you can hold off on filling up your gas tank until Friday, you could certainly save some money.

According to gas analysts, regular gas prices on Friday will drop 13 cents in Barrie.

Gas prices average around 186.9 cents a litre on Thursday and will go down to 173.9 cents on Friday.

Drivers can save big on diesel as well with a drop of 31 cents overnight going from 236.9 cents a litre to 205.9.

The prices are set to drop due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a two-week ceasefire with Iran.

Dan McTeague, president of Canadians for Affordable Energy, says the price of gas lately has been the highest since summer 2022.

While there could be a line at the pumps heading into the weekend, it may be well worth the wait.
